    jeanie's obviously the source here, but some of these tidbits are disheartening. that jim thought lebron was coming, dwight was staying, melo was coming, and then durant was coming--in succession--speaks to his delusions and detachment. we all knew none of that was happening, months before it didn't happen.

    It's kind of scary, but I guess this was the point stealth Jeanie wants to make.

    The timing.... hm. Not a good look Jeanie. That report is as biased as it comes. It's clear Jeanie is telling Jin publicly if he effs up in a couple days he's out. Weird half-shot at Luke too. Shots at Mitch.

    F*** Jeanie. All this does is undermine their process. Damn these f***ing Buss kids...

    I've said it once, I've said it a 1000 times. Media are scum sucking pigs. They deserve everything and anything someone does to them. They deserve to be fed garbage.

    I don't blame Ding for this. Jeanie called him and offered him the story. What is he supposed to say? No? Then he loses Jeanie as a source in the team. He can't deny this piece and still be a valuable insider.

    I blame Jeanie for this. All that sanctimonious speech can be said behind closed doors to Jim himself. No need to air it out in the public.

    It's amazing how far Jeanie has fallen in my eyes over the past 5 years. I've been saying "screw her" for a while now. She's so content to drive this ridiculous wedge into the front office because she's still pissy about not hiring PJ in the front office or something? I don't know.

    Just listen to her give radio interviews these days. Her lack of knowledge about even remedial basketball topics is embarrassing. Take a hike, Jeanie.

    If Jeanie is butt hurt about Byron Scott being fired without her knowledge I don't know what to think about her any more. But I agree ..... piss poor timing to be yakking with Ding about internal family and team matters right before FA starts. WTF? Over. STFU already if you're not "helping" the process.

    She's not exactly wrong in her assessments but why is she saying this now? Just days before FA? To the public so everyone can see it? Really? How is that productive?

    Yeah, the timing of this sucks. You're going into Free Agency, trying to turn this franchise around and sell potential FA's on coming to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. Then, this piece from Ding sounding off on Jim's incompetence isn't exactly what we need to hear right now if at all. Goodness. Buss 'children.'

    Holy hell that article was depressing. Why in the world is it so hard for people to keep their mouths shut?

    Stfu Jeanie! You're not helping at all, and you're just as much of a problem. This incessant barrage of complaints and whining just hurts the brand and is soooo, sooooooooooo annoying.
